Re: Cannot access form designer VS2005

Looks like we have stumbled upon the solution ourselves.
It appears there was one form, for reasons unknown, that was actually
corrupting the whole solution. As soon as we elected to "exclude" this form
from the project, Solution Explorer refreshed and the correct icon appeared
for the forms, which meant we could access the form designer (woo hoo!)
There was a bit of cleaning up to do. We not only had to login to Visual
SourceSafe to delete it, but every developer had to individual delete it from
their solution. In addition, the project file relating to the form we removed
was automatically checked out when I excluded the file. Make sure you let it
do it and then check it back in. Otherwise, the excluding will not permiate
properly to the developers and they will still not get the incorrect icons in
Solution Explorer. Then make sure the developers get the latest from
sourcesafe and everything should be fine.
Anyway, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. The last couple of hours
have been quite stressful. It's only 11:30 in the morning here and I need a
stiff drink :)
regards,
Dominic

Hi all,
I have created some forms with VS2005 that are based on some custom forms,
but I can no longer access the form designer for either the form instances or
the base forms. We are using Visual Source Safe and after I have done a
recursive get latest, all the icons in the Solution Explorer for the forms
have changed to the generic code icons. Therefore I cannot open the form
designer.
I am aware that this was a documented bug in VS2003 but I am using VS2005
with SP1. It just has all of a sudden just started doing it without anyone
changing the baseforms.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
regards,
Dominic
